Hi Christian,
good news! Only one simple patch was required to support arbitrary,
non-default repository locations. And that patch is as simple as [1]. In
fact, PaStA already supported arbitrary locations, it's rather a bugfix
in prepare_projects than a new feature that enables the use of them. :-)
You can define non-default repo locations by adjusting the REPO variable
inside your project config.
Example:
REPO = /tmp/my_external_repo
pasta_prepare will respect that variable.
Btw, the default repo location is set under
PaStA-resources/common/default.cfg
